Well, it's easy to see where that idea come from, still I have to agree that it's not very cool. But it's not smt horribe (as he don't ask for some cruel pictrues or other wierd things), it's just bad taste. :S (using that kind of pictrues for that kind of thing).

About your giveaway, always wanted to try Giants CK so I will enter if it's possible.

Don't get me wrong - I don't really like Licurg's giveaway. I really prefer my type of giveaway with pictures of boobs. Especially that he keeps insisting on posting real dead animals in his thread.

But I smell some double standards here, which is pretty common for SimonG, so I never doubt he'll participate here.

So I am just asking - If I kill a pig, roast the pork and eat it - it's ok. But If I post a pictures of the proccess on my facebook wall, I'm a sick fuck all of a sudden?

It's about association. Bacon is not associated with the slaughter of pigs, rightly or wrongly. Dead animals are associated with death and loss. This is what is upsetting people. Overall nobody is doubting that animals die, or suggesting that the thread is causing any actual harm. It's about what the thread evokes in our minds, and what it brings forwards from our memories.

So bacon has nothing to do with it.

What if we started posting pictures of livestock in factory farms? If you think about it, the animals there are dead on the inside so...

Trhere's also the general question of considering the "dead animal" aspect of food as its most fun aspect or not. Or as a fun aspect in general.

Not entering.

Once this one guy called me messed up after I showed him this picture I had taken of a dead animal. It took me quite a while to figure out why he said it. I guess constantly finding dead, still bloody rabbits and whatnot in the kitchen sink and the fridge as a kid gives an immunity of some sort. Let me tell you, it's super annoying when your food gets covered in blood because someone put a bloody animal above it in the fridge. That's more not thinking at all than not thinking it through.

While I get that it's kind of inconsiderate and pretty dark as humor to specifically request pictures of dead animals, I don't really get why there's such a strong reaction it.

Unless, of course, people are eating bacon made from pigs that were fed bacon. You can call it cannibalism, but I simply call it RECURSIVE BACONING. It's actually relatively common in the meat industry, though it generally happens with the "shit" parts of the animal instead.

It's amazing how disconnected we've become with our food. If people who eat beef jerky knew how it was made, they'd probably have a panic attack.

You Fins really are a hunting nation, aren't you? ;P

I am going to form a band and name it Recursive Baconing.

Pictures of Boobs FTW. And I would never ever do a giveaway that would involve anything morally problematic. Say, like hookers...
Considering that your avatar looks something like a rabbi makes this even more awesome ;-).

Keep your eyes on the sausages

Fuck that giveaway thread. Seriously. I don't care if this is "forum segregation" or anything, I would split this forum into tiny pieces to segregate that psychopath.

Not entering because I have everything except Sacrifice, but I've been convinced to never play it thanks to Licurg's general dickery. I'm know it's great, but I don't want to buy it out of spite and there are lots of other great games to play.

To all the people giving things away in here, you are wonderful.

I used to have a Siamese cat when I was a kid (beginning of elementary school). He was like my personal bodyguard in a way. Every time I got scolded/beaten for something he'd sit in front of the door to my room and growl and scratch at whoever tried to get in. I loved him to bits, but he had attitude issues so to speak. He hated strangers. He hated visitors. If we tried to leave him alone at home for a few hours he'd get angry, vomit on the couch and ignore us for days aftewards. We used to go camping during vacations and tried to take him with us, but he always freaked out due to the different environment. He'd hide under the car and terrify other campers with his growls. He'd attack whoever tried to get close. One time he nearly clawed my eye out. After that my parents decided he was too dangerous to keep and gave him away to some guy who needed a breeder for his business. I had nightmares for months afterwards. I'd dream that he was too depressed or that he'd got too old to breed and that guy would kill him to avoid the cat food bills.

So, yeah, pictures of dead animals are a sore point for me. Even so, I up-reped Licurg for his giveaway. It'd have been grand if no animal corpses were involved, but he doesn't generally come off as someone who enjoys abuse of living cratures and I appreciate the gifting part.

In the same vein, I up-reped you and the people offering games here for the gifting part. And I would be very happy if I won Giants: Citizen Kabuto. But I think your giveaway comes off as somewhat petty. I haven't been around long enough to know how serious people on GOG tend to be about their forum squabbles, but, dammit, can't we all just get along?

Edit: PenutBrittle, no matter how pissed you are Sacrifice IS a great game. You'll miss out big time if you ignore it. Besides, the game never asked anyone for pics of dead animals, did it?

Sacrifice is going in this thread too...
